Radio Romania
hosts in Bucharest the Media 2020 Conference, organized jointly with the
largest broadcaster union in Asia, ABU. Participating are some of the most
important actors in the media, experts, presidents of public media
institutions, digital platform creators, and media personalities from European
Broadcasting Union – EBU and the Asia-Pacific area.
The ABU is the biggest broadcasting union
in the world. We have 276 members in 68 countries, we can reach 4.2 billion
audiences in the world. We believe in diversity, we feel diversity, diversity
in population and culture, in size, in religion, in economy, in politics, in
all aspects of life, but we do not see diversity as a threat, we see that as an
opportunity. Radio Romania has played a very important role in bridging the two
ideas, the East and the West together, and with the kind of culture that I feel
here, with the kind of hospitality and social culture that I see in Romania,
and I am familiar with Romanian culture, I think it’s a very good platform,
it’s a very good opportunity to bridge the difference between West and East,
and this is what Radio Romania has done, said ABU general secretary, Dr.
Javad Mottaghi.
Ovidiu Miculescu, Radio Romania
President and Director General, talked about the role that Radio Romania has in
relation to ABU, especially as host of the conference: First of all, ABU is
the largest and strongest media organization in the world. Our presence there
represents more than Radio Romania, it represents Romania, which is a very
important thing. […]Asia means a world where money from
all over the globe gathers, because I believe that right now finances are
concentrated in that part of the world, and we can all see that even large
European and American corporations invest there. Therefore I believe that right
now and over the following years, Asia will be an extremely important terrain
for Romanian presence, and Radio Romania stepped in with head held high. We are
an extremely serious partner, a high performance partner, an active member, and
even if we have been in ABU for only a couple of years, we are a highly respected
member.
